Cowboy Caviar Salsa

March 17th—Fearlessly Archived—Still a fun read; price & availability may have changed.

Perhaps a black bean based salsa is not the first thing you consider when debating pizza toppings. Bear with us. Salsa is simply the Spanish word for "sauce". Pizza and sauce are partners in crime. Therefore, salsa makes perfect sense on pizza. And so it must follow that Trader Joe's Cowboy Caviar Salsa is the best thing to happen to pizza since shredded cheese.

We first introduced Cowboy Caviar about a year ago, inspired by the culinary legends dating back to the 1930's. It’s a mix of black beans, corn, onions, and red bell peppers, pickled in a blend of chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and lime juice concentrate. It packs a Southwestern-style punch, and will add character and heat to your pizza. Add chicken, sausage, meatballs, or sliced Fennel to complete your non-traditional pizza bake. While a cowboy may be at home on the range, we prefer our pizzas straight from the oven.
